I am almost certain he had to write his books.
Surely a literary professional would have realised the excessive complaints about his father were over the top. Not to mention major grammatical mistakes.
Dangerous Advice:
If you're gonna go broke, go broke big"

I agree with this. Very dangerous.
In all honesty though, Rich Dad Poor Dad helped kickstart my investment journey as it did for many others here.
Thanks for the bump, Player.
When I started my investment journey, I was oblivious to world markets and economics. What would America have to do with the Australian Economy. What would an American know about the Austalian market? Talk about naive.
My biggest mistake has been to ignore influencing factors and opinions, for what they are worth. For the past three years I have learned not to turn a blind eye and to take in advice and opinions based on experience where I see fit.
Meanwhile, I continue my path to an Economic education.

So I continue to read and listen.
